Social media is a big monster today. It’s a very large ocean with uncountable content, news and information. There is no doubt that it’s very hard to stand out from the crowd when you just act “normally”. World Social Media Day was launched by Mashable on June 30, 2010. It was born as a way to recognize social media’s impact on global communication and to bring the world together to celebrate it.

When Pew Research Center began tracking social media adoption in 2005, just 5% of American adults used at least one of these platforms. Today around seven-in-ten Americans use social media to connect with one another, engage with news content, share information and entertain themselves.
